Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 1454

Darius knew that what he did before was scary. But he acted that way out of anger. "Okay, I promise I won't act like this in front of you again," he said.

Joelle nodded, still a bit shocked. No matter what, Darius was always her good brother.

"Good girl. I'll take you home to eat tonight," Darius added. "I'll take you back to my place."

That incident was just a small problem, but it didn't go away easily. Mateo didn't stay quiet after being punched. He told his parents what happened as soon as he got home.

When his parents found out their son had been beaten, they were angry. So, they went to the school to demand an explanation. After several investigations and gathering evidence, it was clear that Darius was the one who hit Mateo.

Darius stood in the principal's office with a defiant look.

The principal was faced with a tough situation. Mateo's parents had a right to be upset, but Darius was the son of the school's investor. No matter what the principal did, it would be problematic. So, he tried his best to calm both sides down.

Mateo's parents were willing to talk, but Darius refused to admit he was wrong.

"I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize? He wrote my sister a love letter. That's gross!"

Mateo looked pale when he heard that. His parents hadn't known about the love letter. They only knew he was hit. They were surprised to learn why he was beaten.

Mateo's mother, Astrid Elsher, turned to her son and asked, "Is he telling the truth? Did you write the girl a love letter?"

He wasn't worried about Darius. If it went to court, Astrid might lose badly.

Everyone knew Darius's godfather was James, a top lawyer. Darius wouldn't go to jail, even if he committed a serious crime, let alone a fight. At most, he'd end up in a youth detention center.

Besides, Darius was just defending Joelle. Her family would likely thank him a lot. Astrid could end up with a big loss.

But Astrid didn't know Darius. She just thought he was a stubborn, naughty kid.

"Why not?" she challenged.
